Japanime Co. Ltd. has announced the April release of Manga Without Borders, a compendium of manga illustrations by artists from all four corners of the world.  Compiled from the Manga University archives, these award-winning works reflect not only the unmistakable influence Japanese manga has had on artists in Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and Oceania, but also the unique cultural perspectives those artists themselves have brought to the genre.

Manga Without Borders includes an introduction by legendary Japanese manga-ka Takao Saito, creator of Golgo 13.  The Manga Without Borders art anthology will have a cover price of $14.99 and will be available in the U.S. through Diamond.

The Tokyo-based Japanime has previously released the Kanji de Manga box set, four volumes that use manga to help students learn how to read and write Japanese (see 'Kanji de Manga Box Set').
